When Jiang Tangxi woke up, he had already arrived at the general's mansion.

She opened her eyes groggily and found herself lying on a soft couch covered with white fox fur. She seemed to feel heat around her ankles.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked, and her mind instantly became clear.

I instinctively pulled my feet back, but was instantly grabbed by a hand.

The world-famous eldest prince, the general who held the military power of Dongli, was actually rubbing her numb ankle at this moment.

Jiang Tangxi's voice trembled: "Grand Prince, this...how can this be done! Stop it now!"

She pulled her foot back in panic and sat up, but her foot was still held in Xiao Yuxi's palm.

The warmth from the man's palm also reached Jiang Tangxi's palm, catching her off guard.

Xiao Yuchen looked up at her, smiled and continued what he was doing, "It's okay, it will be over soon, just bear with it."

Jiang Tangxi stared at him blankly, unable to say a word.

The man has a high nose, a cool look from the side, and a straight jawline....

It does look a bit like someone.

Looking at this man with such a gentle face, Jiang Tangxi found it hard to imagine her galloping on the battlefield, wielding a sword to kill enemies, and commanding millions of lions.

Jiang Tangxi was just thinking this, not realizing that she had been staring at the man in front of her for a long time.

I never thought that someone who was still rubbing his ankle would suddenly raise his eyes.

Like a caught thief, Jiang Tangxi was stunned and turned away instantly without any explanation.

The woman's face was still somewhat pale.

Xiao Yuxi chuckled and said, "Feel it now, does it still hurt?"

As he said this, he was about to stand up and help Jiang Tangxi up.

After standing up and taking two steps, I felt that my sprained ankle had indeed returned to normal.

Seeing Jiang Tangxi walking normally, Xiao Yuchen seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. "I have asked someone to prepare hot water. You have a fever. Although I have injected some internal energy into you just now, the discomfort has been alleviated, but it is still better to take a hot bath."

After saying this, Jiang Tangxi noticed the maid who was already waiting outside the door.

Xiao Yuchen said, "You can call them if you need anything."

Jiang Tangxi nodded, turned and walked towards the bathroom, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped.

Turning around, his brows furrowed. "The eldest prince just brought me back to the general's mansion? Don't you care about the opinions of the people in the capital?"

Given Xiao Yuchen's identity, it stands to reason that no matter what the relationship between the two was before, they should avoid suspicion.

Moreover, she just saw the people Xiao Yuchen sent to follow her. Xiao Yuchen must have already known the news that she was in the General's Mansion.

That madman, who knows what else he will do!

Xiao Yuxi immediately understood the hidden meaning of Jiang Tangxi's words and raised his eyebrows. "I just saw that you were feeling a little unwell. Besides, my father has entrusted the task of disaster relief in Huizhen to the two of us, so I think it's not a big deal... However, since you reminded me of this, I have to think about it carefully. After you finish bathing, should I expel you from the general's mansion? After all, the crown prince who is in the favor of His Majesty may be looking for you all over the city!"

???

Xiao Yuchen is looking for her?

This is what he cares about?

But it was obvious that Xiao Yuxi said this as a joke.

Looking at Jiang Tangxi's speechless expression, Xiao Yuxi chuckled softly, and the atmosphere in the whole room became somewhat relaxed.

It's very relaxing and comfortable.

However, whether it was Jiang Tangxi's illusion or not, she seemed to feel that there was something strange in Xiao Yuxi's tone when he said "the crown prince who is in the favor of His Majesty".

Sarcasm? Resentment?

Or something else!

This emotion was hidden too deeply for her to detect.

Since the first time I met him, Xiao Yuxi has always been so gentle and elegant, very different from Xiao Yuchen.

As expected, the nine sons of the dragon are all different.

Seeing that Jiang Tangxi began to lose focus again, with doubt and surprise flashing in his eyes, Xiao Yuchen asked: "What's the matter? Could it be that...I caught the princess's eye?"

Jiang Tangxi came back to her senses and apologized, "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me. I just feel that... you two are alike... and not alike."

he?!!

Why would she still think of that person!

No! He is not worthy of being a human being!

The smile on Xiao Yuxi's face froze, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his usually gentle eyes, but he retreated very quickly, and reminded with a bit of joking, "If the princess delays any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this hot bath!"

Jiang Tangxi nodded calmly, "Okay, if someone really comes from the Prince's Mansion later, you can block them for me for a while. I will leave quickly and will not embarrass you two brothers."

She paused after she finished speaking, looking into his gentle and deep eyes, "I want to split up with your highness, let's separate now and meet in Huizhen!"

She believed that Xiao Yuxi knew what he was talking about.

Xiao Yuxi's eyes sparkled and he said with a smile, "That's fine too. After all, I'm bringing a large group of people with me, so it's too conspicuous. Let's meet in Huizhen."

After Jiang Tangxi watched him leave, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

He turned around and went to the bathroom.

"Knock knock knock..."

Soon, the door of the general's mansion was knocked as promised.

The sound was dull and rapid.

The housekeeper of the general's mansion didn't know who was outside the door. Hearing this extremely rude knock on the door, he was a little displeased: "Come on, come on! This is the general's mansion, are you crazy!"

Every time the eldest prince returned victorious from a battle, countless people would send him gold, silver, and jewelry, just to get a chance to go to the battlefield with Xiao Yuxi. Even if he did nothing, he could still come back with great military merit!

The butler showed impatience and commonplaceness.

He opened the door carelessly.

one look!

Xiao Yuchen? The Crown Prince!!

He was so scared that he instantly knelt on the ground!

Yin Zhou shouted, "What? The Crown Prince is here, doesn't the General know?"

Although Xiao Yuxi is the eldest prince, Xiao Yuchen is the crown prince.

The crown prince is not included among the princes.

There is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. When Xiao Yuxi saw Xiao Yuchen, he could only greet him.

As the butler listened to Yin Zhou's words, beads of sweat kept appearing on his face. This was the person that His Majesty held close to his heart. He could only be thankful that he had not said too many rebellious words just now.

So he lowered his head even more, trembling as he replied, "The general just got caught in the rain and is taking a bath now. I will go and report to you right away!"

"No need!" Xiao Yuchen said coldly.

It seemed that he already knew everything about the General's Mansion.

He walked into the house on his own.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly knelt down and took a step back to make way for Xiao Yuchen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yuchen stepped into the general's mansion, Xiao Yuxi came out to greet him.

He bowed to Xiao Yuchen and said, "I didn't know the Crown Prince was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please don't blame me, Your Highness!"

Xiao Yuchen still held his head high and glanced at Xiao Yuxi, but didn't let him get up.

"General, you are too kind. This prince has come here uninvited. It is interesting to hear that the general met the crown princess today and brought her back to the general's mansion. I think she has been a guest in the general's mansion for a day. This prince has come here specially to take her home!"
